Dear mineral collector,

From California I have some rare barium minerals such as Alforsite, Devitoite, Fencooperite and Walstromite of outstanding quality. As well as pretty specimens of the manganese silicates Inesite and Tamaite, and the rare borates Hambergite, Inderite, and Kurnakovite, as well as beautiful specimens with Demantoid, Goldmanite, Desautelsite, and Dypingite. From their type locality in Oregon, I have Cavansite and Pentagonite, once collected by Ruby Tschernich, as well as other nice Zeolites. There is also something interesting from Germany, historical newly examined specimens with Cannonite, Pettitjeanite, Haidingerite, Maucherite, Nickeline and Turquoise crystals. From South Africa I have excellent, intensely colored violet Stichtite, from Sweden beautiful sky-blue Trolleite, as well as Hydroxylhedypan from Langban, from Morocco beautiful Irhtemite and Proustite specimens and from Pakistan pretty "phosphorite shells".
